Artists Oil Paint History
For oil painters: Increase the fluidity of your paint by mixing the colour with glaze medium (a mix of linseed oil, dammar varnish and solvent), and apply with a fine round or rigger brush for flowing, even, unbroken lines.

“Paks õlivärv on läikiverootiline. Iga nüanss, selle temperament. Punane lõugab nagu sadamahoor, aga tuvisinine seisab ujedalt, pilk kauge. Mulle saab üha enam selgeks, kui tähtis on see värv, mis tekib värvide v a h e l.”
—Annette Bjergfeldt "Palermovej ülemlaul"
No matter what painting technique is employed, oil paints are most cooperative when applied from dark to light, wet-into-wet.
